New paper! In female mammals, one X-chromosome is inactive in each cell. In some cats, this causes typical color patterns, depending on which X is active and the color it codes for. The @eddaschulz.bsky.social lab found a new regulatory principle behind X-inactivation. 1/2 Note: AI generated image

In our “Meet the first author” interview series, we take a look behind the scenes of science. This time we spoke with Francesca Rossi, first author of a recent collaborative paper in Nucleic Acids Research from the Kinkley Lab.

In late August we had the pleasure of welcoming BSc students from the EPFL in Switzerland. They learned about our IMPRS-BAC graduate program and enjoyed a tour of the institute and the Vallier lab with Maïa Pesic.
We wish the students all the best in their future careers!

Every year, the Max Planck Society awards the Otto Hahn Medal and 7,500 euros of prize money to its best junior scientists - mostly for achievements in connection with their doctorates. Particularly outstanding doctoral students even have the chance to win the Otto Hahn Award. It comes with the chance to run their own research project at a Max Planck Institute of their choice, and it is intended to encourage them to pursue their career in Germany.

Congratulations to all our wonderfully talented young researchers honoured with an #OttoHahnMedal today for their outstanding scientific contributions - we're so proud of you🥳! Keep paving the way for a bright future!📷 Group photo of the winners in Magdeburg w/th @patrick-cramer.maxplanck.de
